Learn how to tie the Davidson’s Chubby Cubby
Kevan Davidson is one of our favorite Umpqua Signature Tyers, and this week he is back in our studio to tie his “Chubby Cubby!” This pattern is a variation of his beloved ant pattern the “Cupboard Ant.” After some angler feedback on the visibility of the original, he went back to the vise and crafted the “Chubby Cubby!” This hi-vis ant pattern has a “chubby style” wing and can be tied up with several household items, including the soft rubber material you might have lining your cupboard right now!
